37 Green Building & Sustainability The re-launching of this course to emphasise today s green initiatives and the worldwide push to make buildings more environmentfriendly is definitely a step in the right direction. We are confident that this course will produce the necessary skilled manpower for this emerging industry with great potential. Tan Tian Chong Director, Technology Development Building & Construction Authority oing Green is today s Gcatch phrase, reflecting the growing worldwide concern for the environment. A green building is one that is designed to reduce its impact on mankind and the environment. Despite rapid urbanisation, we must ensure that our future is safe and healthy for everyone in other words, there must be sustainability. New buildings both commercial as well as residential now come with not just automated high-tech gadgets, but also energy-saving features. This focus on environment-friendly buildings is not just a local industry trend; it is part of a global push by governments worldwide to create an environmentally sustainable infrastructure that will support the emerging lifestyles of a new generation of people with higher expectations of how they live, work, and play. This course will equip you with the knowledge of green building architecture, technologies and practices, including passive and sustainable design, energy auditing and building management. Subjects such as Total Building Performance and Energy Audit and Measurements will give you the fundamental knowledge of good green building practices and designs. You will also be trained in the use of industry software for architectural drawings and building performance simulations. In addition to the diploma, graduates from this course will be awarded the Associate Singapore Certified Energy Manager (ASCEM) certificate which is jointly administered by the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES). The demand for ASCEM professionals has increased greatly with the need for energy conservation in every building and it is the most sought after certification for people who wish to pursue a career in the energy conservation industry. 182 Prospectus 2016/2017 school of engineering

38 Career Opportunities With the launch of the Building & Construction Authority s Green Mark rating system to evaluate a building s environmental friendliness, building and property owners are now striving to adopt green building technologies and the best practices in environmental design and construction. Green buildings currently make up more than 27 percent of buildings in Singapore, but come 2030, that figure is targeted to reach 80 percent of all buildings, driven by government funding to green all existing buildings. This alone gives an indication of the amount of retrofitting that will need to be done to buildings in our country, creating abundant job opportunities and demand for green building professionals. At the same time, new buildings coming on-stream need to incorporate green features and technology as well, adding to the demand. You can look forward to careers in the energy market, sustainable design or building design industries, and find exciting job opportunities as an energy or green building consultant, an eco-city planner or designer, a green marketing executive or an environmentally sustainable design (ESD) engineer. You can also further your qualifications in the fields of sustainable design and architectural-related programmes. Under a special arrangement, our diploma holders can get an Honours degree in Architectural Engineering from the University of Northumbria, UK, in just one year, or a masters degree in two years.
